Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Konohagakure

It didn’t take long for the main family of the Hyuga Clan to learn about Aoki’s defection.

Because the matter couldn’t be hidden, it spread to the others in Konoha too, and in less than a day the scandal of the Hyuga Clan was spread to the streets and alleys of Konoha.

There are two reasons why Aoki’s defection caused such a big sensation. For one, it is related to one of the major clans in Konoha, and second, it is related to the Hyuga Clan specifically where there has never been a defection since the establishment of Konoha Village.

Therefore, everyone who learned about this was extremely surprised and curious. People were talking and gossiping about it all over the village, wondering how csomeone from the Hyuga Clan defected.

…

Patriarch’s Mansion, Hyuga District

“Aoki’s defection is a disgrace to the entire Hyuga Clan, he can not be allowed to roam freely!” said Elder Aoyama, anger clearly apparent from his expression.

“There is no need to send someone after him, just use ‘Caged Bird’ to execute him!” suggested Elder Fukiage.

At this time, Elder Sada said, “But it’s really surprising… Aoki is disabled, he shouldn’t have the ability to defect… so how did he manage?”

Elder Aoyama said in an annoyed tone, “Is it not obvious? It must have been the traitor that has been lurking within our clan for a while… he must have helped Aoki!”

Hiashi had a thoughtful expression at the mention of the traitor.

The presence of the traitor has plagued him for a few years now. He has tried many methods to find him, however, the traitor is well hidden, and no matter how he searches, he has not been able to find the traitor.

Elder Sada sighed, “If it is the work of a traitor, then he must have helped Aoki not to help him, but to embarrass the Hyuga Clan in front of the entire Village!”

Elder Fukiage asked, “But who could be so daring in the branch family?”

“Humph!” Elder Aoyama snorted coldly, and said, “Is that even a question? That brat Kuroto is rebellious enough to oppose our authority, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is the traitor!”

Elder Sada nodded with a thoughtful expression, “Yes… if it’s him… it is possible. Because of him, a few other members of the branch family have also started to express dissatisfaction towards the main family.”

Elder Fukiage nodded, “In that case, aside from executing Aoki, we have to deal with Hyuga Kuroto too. If he is allowed to do whatever he pleases… more and more cases like Aoki will start to appear within the clan.”

Having reached this conclusion, the elders looked at Hiashi who had been silent the entire time.

Facing the eyes of all the elders, Hiashi shook his head, “If something happens to Kuroto-kun, there will be irreparable consequences from both outside and inside the Clan. Uchiha’s momentum is increasing day by day, in such a scenaif we start infighting, the entire clan will disappear.”

Hiashi’s worries are not unreasonable, and the elders had to accept his words.

However, there was one Elder who sneered upon hearing Hiashi’s worries, “Hyuga Kuroto’s confidence comes from the support of Hokage, as long as Hokage continues to support him, it will be really difficult for us to deal with him. However, what would happen if he loses Hokage’s support?”

Elder Aoyama continued, “I have a plan… if we implement my plan, not only will we be able to keep the position of the Principal of the academy in our hands, but we will also be able to deal with Kuroto. Once we make an example out of Kuroto, the members of the branch family will no longer make any trouble!”

Hiashi asked doubtfully, “What plan?”

Kuroto’s indifference towards the main family has also aroused Hiashi’s vigilance, so if there is really a moderate way to solve this problem, he won’t object to it.

Seeing that even Hiashi was a bit interested in the plan, he was excited, and spoke, “There is a shinobi named Mizuki in the Konoha Ninja Academy who has contactedrecently… and he has a way to solve this problem.”

Elder Fukiage questioned, “What can that guy do?”

Elder Aoyama explained, “It appears that Kuroto is Orochimaru’s eyeliner in Konoha, and Mizuki is willing to cforward to testify.”

“What?!” Hiashi was takenaback, aback and asked with a frown, “Kuroto-kun is Orochimaru’s spy? Such an accusation will require evidence! Does Mizuki have any evidence?

Elder Aoyama said with a smirk, “There is no need for evidence! He was Orochimaru’s disciple, there is no way he is not connected to that traitor. And even if he denies the accusation, even if he is proven innocent after the investigation, trust in him will be lost… once that happens he wouldn’t be able to keep the position of Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy.”

“Although that is indeed the case, however…” said Elder Fukiage, then asked with a puzzled expression, “Why is Mizuki willing to take such a big risk? What’s in it for him?”

Elder Aoyama said with a smirk, “Ambitions beyond his capabilities.” And explained, “Mizuki is an ambitious person, however, he is weak, moreover, he made a fool of himself in the assessment not long ago, so any hope of him becoming Jonin in the future disappeared, and his situation has gotten so bad that now he can’t even keep his position in the Konoha Ninja Academy. So he wants the Hyuga Clan to help him get promoted to the rank of Jonin.”

Hiashi said, “If your plan succeeds, Kuroto-kun will lose the position of Principal of Ninja Academy… this price is too high… Moreover, backing someone who abandoned those children… I don’t feel very good about this.”

Other elders agreed with Hiashi to sextent. Moreover, Kuroto still maintains the prestige of the Hyuga Clan in the Village. If he becomes part of this scandal, not only will he lose his position and reputation, but the reputation of the clan will fall too.

Elder Aoyama knew about Hiashi’s worries, and said, “I have considered this issue. But think about it… we are exposing a traitor to village and clan… although people are going to talk about it… they will talk about us in good light… we went as far as to deal with a member of our clan for the safety of our village… As for the position of Konoha Ninja Academy, we can just negotiate with Hokage to give that position to someone else from our clan.

I personally believe that Hokage won’t object, for one, he wouldn’t want to offend the main family just because of a member of the branch, moreover, he too wants to keep Uchiha within limits, and we are the best option for that. This way both sides will be in benefit and we will have dealt with Kuroto without any issues.”

Hiashi narrowed his eyes. Although the plan isn’t that bad, he still has a bad feeling about this.

Principal’s Office, Konoha Ninja Academy

“Kuroto-san, you were right. On that night, someone indeed contacted Otou-san. According to him, the other party had sstrange methods.” Said Itachi.

“I see.” Said Kuroto, and instructed, “Keep a close watch around Uchiha Clan. Although the possibility is very low, he may try to contact someone from the Uchiha Clan again.”

Itachi nodded, “I understand.” then disappeared.

After Itachi left, Kuroto got up and stood by the window with a thoughtful expression.

Based on Itachi’s report, Kuroto can confirm that Aoki controlled a puppet to meet Uchiha Fugaku and encouraged him to start a Coup d’etat, he did not reveal anything about his identity or anything related to the Giant Tenseigan of the Hyuga Clan.

It’s safe to say that except for him and Aoki, no one is aware of the existence of the Giant Tenseigan.

Now the question is, “Where can he go?” No matter how much he thought about it, Kuroto couldn’t guess. He doesn’t know Aoki enough to figure this out.

Although based on several interactions with Aoki, Kuroto has figured out that Aoki seems to have a deep hatred towards the main family of the Clan, so he will definitely cback for revenge sooner or later, but even if that’s the case Kuroto can’t continue to passively wait for that day, so after thinking about it, he decided to put sShinobi to work.

With such a thought in his mind, Kuroto sent instructions to Yagura.
